Chapter 1423 Don’t interrupt when a man is talking
"You were looking for someone smelly and hard, so you found me?"
After hearing what Li Ye said, Lao Kang's face, which was already unpleasant because of his old-fashioned and stubborn nature, became even darker and uglier.
Huang Gang also quietly tugged at Li Ye's sleeve, reminding him not to speak so harshly.
Although "stinky and hard" was Huang Gang's evaluation of Lao Kang, it was too disrespectful to say it to his face.
But Li Ye still smiled and said, "Sorry! Actually, I want to find someone who is capable, famous, can stick to principles, and can't tolerate any sand in his eyes. He can give the scoundrels a headache at the first sight."
Li Ye said a lot of things, portraying the image of a "righteous" person.
But Lao Kang said dully, "Isn't this still smelly and hard?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile. Huang Gang was a little anxious and hurried forward to persuade him: "Master Kang, my brother is really impressed by your ability. A 28-story building is not something that ordinary people can control, right?"
Lao Kang waved his hand and said, "If you say something nice like that, I'll think you're a liar. If you say something stinky and hard, I'll feel more at ease."
Huang Gang was stunned, thinking that Old Kang had a weird temper. He was not happy when people said he was nice to him. Was he sick because of being suppressed for so many years?
However, the people in Lao Kang's family obviously did not have Lao Kang's weird temper. From the moment they heard the words "stinky and hard", they glared at Li Ye and Huang Gang.
Huang Gang said helplessly, "Why don't we go out and find a place to chat? Don't worry, it's not far. The little restaurant at the entrance of the alley is good."
Lao Kang nodded, stood up and walked out.
But his wife grabbed him and pushed his son, daughter-in-law and grandson to the bed in the corner, leaving the small round table and stool in the middle of the room.
As she wiped the old table with a rag, she said, "Boss Huang, please talk here! My husband Kang has already eaten, why should we go out to eat? It's a waste of money, isn't it?"
Huang Gang was a little hesitant. It was obvious that Lao Kang's wife's action was to "monitor" the conversation between him and Lao Kang on the spot.
Because it involved some inside stories, he always felt it was inconvenient to discuss things in front of so many people.
However, Li Ye was the first to sit on the equally old stool, and he even made it squeak.
Because he saw deep worry and vigilance in the woman's eyes. There was nothing inappropriate about a wife who was worried about her husband wanting to listen to the conversation.
There are seven or eight people living in less than 20 square meters. The stools in the house are almost falling apart, and the hostess is still worried about her husband. Is this a kind of humble happiness?
After the three of them sat down, Lao Kang asked bluntly, "Which company does this boss belong to? Where will you build your 28-story building?"
Li Ye opened his briefcase, took out the bidding plan drawn up by Minister Xun and handed it to Lao Kang.
"I'm from the Jingnan Group. We're planning to build an office building in Sanlihe. The design has been completed, the land has been acquired, and we'll be putting the project out for bidding after the new year."
"Sanlihe?"
Lao Kang had already opened the bidding plan, but now he looked up at Li Ye coldly: "Have you dealt with Wang Bingxian?"
Li Ye did not hide anything and said directly: "We have dealt with each other. The same land was sold to others for 22 million and to me for 30 million. Even so, he was not satisfied and wanted me to contract the project to them as well.
I was afraid the building would collapse, so I didn't agree. We'll be bidding for the project after the new year. I don't understand construction engineering, so I'm going to hire a third party for supervision, and it has to be one of our own. What's wrong, Master Kang? What do you think of Wang Bingxian?"
“Hehe~”
Lao Kang did not answer Li Ye, but opened the bidding plan and quickly looked through it.
Then he asked Li Ye: "Is your Jingnan Group a state-owned enterprise?"
Li Ye smiled and said, "Did you figure it out from this plan?"
Lao Kang nodded and said, "People in private enterprises wouldn't dare to be so deceitful. Besides, are you an airborne cadre? Are your subordinates not your own people?"
Nowadays, the bosses of private enterprises are both good and evil, so it is not surprising that Lao Kang could see this from the plan. However, he was able to tell that it was an airborne cadre, which really took some skill.
Li Ye smiled and said, "We are the result of the merger of two companies. One is the light truck company in Haidian, and the other is Southwest Heavy Duty Truck. I am the deputy team leader of the office building preparation team."
"Deputy team leader?"
Lao Kang closed the plan and frowned, saying, "You're just a deputy, why are you worrying so much? Is it any use?"
In state-owned enterprises, the power between deputy positions and principal positions is vastly different, so when Lao Kang heard that Li Ye was a deputy, he instantly lost interest.
Over the years, he has seen many "promising young people" who wanted to uphold justice, but were beaten to a pulp by a combination of various rules. He is old and mentally ill to get involved in such crap.
But Huang Gang immediately said: "Lao Kang, don't be blind to the truth. My brother may look young, but he is very capable.
What was the Light Automobile Company like before? My brother single-handedly built it up, and they were all listed as reserve cadres in the ministry.
Jingnan Group has five deputy general managers, and the other four are deputy department heads, but my brother was promoted to deputy director last year, so he is currently acting as deputy general manager at the department level."
Huang Gang's flattery of "telling the truth" cheered up the disappointed Lao Kang.
Mr. Jing may not understand other things, but he definitely understands the value of a 30-year-old director temporarily holding a deputy-department-level position.
And if you think about it more deeply, in Li Ye's situation, he must be in urgent need of proving himself, so this building is his "graduation results". If the results are good enough, the title of "temporary" will be taken away 100%.
That makes sense.
In his mind, Lao Kang instantly connected a series of "abnormal phenomena" into a normal result, and confirmed that Li Ye was "sincerely" asking him to come out of retirement.
Lao Kang exhaled heavily and said in a deep voice: "If you want me to take on the responsibility for you, you have to give me 20,000 yuan as resettlement allowance first, and another 20,000 yuan after the project is completed."
"Settlement allowance?"
Li Ye looked at Lao Kang in surprise, then couldn't help laughing.
How is this just like the guy in Young and Dangerous who drew the death pardon and made the worst-case scenario plan before risking his life?
After Lao Kang finished speaking, his wife's face changed immediately and she was about to come over to stop Lao Kang.
But Lao Kang said to his wife angrily: "The old man is talking about serious matters! Old woman, don't interrupt."
“.”
Li Ye quickly said: "I can give you 20,000 first, but it's not as weird as you think. It's just normal supervision."
Lao Kang smiled slightly: "Not that weird? Then you don't understand what kind of person Wang Bingxian is."
“.”
